I played once on PS4 (yes the one they had to pull from the store) and when the DLC was released I replayed everything on PS5. I had a great time and was doing even more sidequests than before. Wouldn’t mind going back in to 100% it, but there are just too many other games.

That’s another reason, yes

Sony gave up on the VR2 before it was even released. No promotion, hard to even find the games in the store, no free VR games in PS+, barely any investment in developers and exclusives. I don’t understand why anyone would expect a better outcome.

Not sure if it counts as platformer but Talos Principle and Portal.

Beatings continue until morale improves

Quality down, prices up. How long is this trend going to last?

I played so many games back then I can’t really say I’ve missed too much. Maybe I should have looked more into games like Jagged Alliance or X-Com but I wasn’t into turn-based games back then. But I also didn’t care much about puzzle games as a kid and now I am and that’s ok. These days I don’t care about multiplayer games anymore, which I used to love.

Damn I wish they would sell in Europe directly. Ordering anything from Analogue would have ridiculous shipping costs and customs duty so I never got around to ordering the Pocket either. I know there are cheaper options especially for game boy hardware but Analogues is just so sexy.

How small do you imagine the world of MFS is?

Bring back chopping off hands for thieves.

On paper it’s not a bad temple. I guess the part that makes it so annoying is the constant switching and using of the iron boots.

If you factor in every Japanese game in existence this statement will crumble really fast. Your examples are both Nintendo games and they have particularly high quality standards and a focus on fun gameplay (ignore the water temple in Ocarina of Time).

Judging by the comments in this thread this will be the one defining mistake that kills Microsoft.

Tomb Raider, Doom, Mortal Kombat for example

Not bad games at all but I just don’t like that it’s claiming the name of something, basically saying it wasn’t good enough.

Thanks for the clarification!

In Germany we always have elections on Sundays so it’s basically a public holiday (unlike in the US where stores are still open). There are enough places to vote (though you’re assigned to the one in your district for statistical reasons) so you rarely have to stand in line. I’ve seen pictures of voting lines in the US and was shocked…

Mail-in votes are available to everyone and it’s being used a lot but for many people going to the voting place in person has more meaning to it. Some even put on a suit, but that could also be because they are on the way to church.

Electronic voting was discussed but the consensus is that it’s not safe enough.

The question if it should be a public holiday in the US is weird to me as it is a very clear YES and also YES people should definitely always get a day off on public holidays wtf

Since 100%ing Astro Bot I’m now continuing Last of Us 2 on New Game+. About a third way through.

Always-games: Shipbreaker, Synth Rider (PSVR2), Factorio, Vampire Survivors, Balatro (now on iPad)

All games and movies that reuse the same name as the very first title in the franchise to make a “fresh start” while spitting on the original.

We have all the solutions, we just need to execute them.

Elon Musk is doing fine though
